I really liked it - tried it out for my hometown here in the UK and got some pretty pertinent results. One thing though - why is there no persistence of my facebook opt-in choice across the session? For instance, if I tried 'Oxford', and then 'London', I was prompted for facebook permissions both times - was that by design?

Did you login to Facebook before adding the second location? We can't personalize data for your results unless you connect into Facebook. Our goal is to encourage people to connect to get richer results.

Same experience here - your app re-prompted me for Facebook for each city, so each time I had to say no. Would be better if you could ask once, not each time.
